Hantaviruses infect a wide range of hosts including insectivores and rodents and can also
cause zoonotic infections in humans, which can lead to severe disease with possible fatal …

Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites that reprogram host cells upon infection to
produce viral progeny. Here, we review recent structural insights into virus-host interactions in …

Viruses with spindle-shaped virions are abundant in diverse environments. Over the years,
such viruses have been isolated from a wide range of archaeal hosts. Evolutionary …

A decisive step in a virus infection cycle is the recognition of a specific receptor present on
the host cell surface, subsequently leading to the delivery of the viral genome into the cell …

Similar to many eukaryotic viruses (and unlike bacteriophages), viruses infecting archaea
are often encased in lipid-containing envelopes. However, the mechanisms of their …

The Bunyavirales order is a large and diverse group of segmented negative-strand RNA
viruses. Several virus families within this order contain important human pathogens, including …

Due to its asymmetric shape, size and compactness, the structure of the infectious mature
virus (MV) of vaccinia virus (VACV), the best-studied poxvirus, remains poorly understood. …

The cell envelope represents the main line of host defense that viruses encounter on their
way from one cell to another. The cytoplasmic membrane in general is a physical barrier that …

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is a phenuivirus that has rapidly
become endemic in several East Asian countries. The large (L) protein of SFTSV, which …

Geothermal and hypersaline environments are rich in virus-like particles, among which
spindle-shaped morphotypes dominate. Currently, viruses with spindle- or lemon-shaped virions …
